Floating Power Objects

This compiler hint appears when a power port object has been detected to be floating - not electrically connected to a component - within the design. For example the power port may have been placed but is not yet wired up to the rest of the circuit. The message is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Floating Power Object NetName,

where

NetName is the name of the net associated with the floating power port object.

Default Report Mode

Warning

Recommendation

Ensure that the offending power port object is connected into the circuit as required. If the power port is redundant, simply delete it from the design.

Notes

This message is related to the standard, single-signal power port objects. A floating bus power port object (available when the schematic is part of an FPGA project) will be flagged in the Messages panel as a Floating Net Label.
